Chapter 236 Battle against the Spurs, the gatekeepers of the Western Conference!
"When you win, you can't earn much 'qi', and when you lose, you can't earn much..."
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
Su Bei glanced at it and didn't even look at the specific values, so he didn't rush back.
After eating supper, I stretched my legs and fell asleep.
You ask why not check the information of the next opponent?
What kind of man is he sleeping when he will be dead in the future?
I bother!
The next opponent is the Timberwolves. There is no need to search for information and target them!
Be a good person!
In a game that is bound to win, let’s give others a way to survive!
The game against the Timberwolves is on the evening of the 9th, and there are still two days of rest.
At this time, Odom has returned and can practice the triangle offensive tactics.
After the game with the Timberwolves, we have to face the Spurs. That game will be a tough battle.
Therefore, on the training day, whether the training content is aimed at the Timberwolves, the most important thing is how to deal with the Spurs.
Su Bei will play small forward and will face Bowen, who is almost 37 years old and has no offensive skills. Therefore, simulation training on Duncan's help defense is very important.
The team's tactics are in sync and the training is fairly smooth.
After all, Su Bei mainly plays assists. On offense, it is either positioning for three-pointers or cutting through fixed routes.
"This level of air cutting is more like a pick-and-roll without the ball than an air cutting.
It seems that it is probably impossible to break through from B level to A level with the Lakers.
The triangle offensive tactic doesn't give me much freedom to run around without the ball. It's more about running within the framework of the triangle offensive tactic. It doesn't have much soul and difficulty. How can I break this A level?"
"It's difficult to break through without the ball, so I can only settle for the second best, round off, and practice my own offense with the ball.
With the training of Kobe, even a pig should be able to improve his offensive skills with the ball..."
Su Bei cast his gaze thoughtfully on Kobe, and Kobe seemed to feel Su Bei's gaze.
Then, Su Bei was beaten.
If you want to learn to hit someone, you must first learn to be beaten.
Su Bei and Kobe were in a duel and were directly repaired.
Fortunately, Lele alone is not as good as Lele together. Walton, Vujacic, Farmar, rookies Christanton and Maurice Evans, every one of the outside players has been repaired by Kobe.
"Demon Town Museum"
"It looks like I need to practice more! I wonder if Kobe's defense is too strong. I have no chance to perform in a one-on-one challenge with Kobe.
It’s so difficult for me, I can’t even measure my own strength.”
On the following training days, while Su Bei was being beaten by Kobe, he also gradually saw hope in Vujacic and Christenton that he could develop ball-based offense.
There is no way to beat Kobe, but he can still achieve a 50-50 draw against others. Even with his precise three-pointers, the number of wins in one-on-one games is only behind Kobe.
…
November 9, Staples Center Arena.
The Lakers beat the Timberwolves by 25 points 117-92 at home, giving the opponent a 4-game losing streak.
In this summer's free market, the Timberwolves became the most handsome player, attracting the attention of teams across the league.
After all, Garnett is about to get married, and handsome young men from ten miles away and eight villages have to break the threshold.
In the end, I don’t know if there was a PY trade, but the Celtics’ coaches and management played a huge role in this transaction chain.
So, there was this one-for-seven Garnett deal.
However, the Timberwolves were at a huge loss to their hometown. Seven chips seemed like a lot, but there was only one that could be beaten.
Al Jefferson, the 15th pick in 2004, a 2.08-meter forward, became the new wolf king of the Timberwolves.
This season he averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds per game!
Do you call this a loss to your hometown?
When Garnett got married, he only had 22 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4 assists. Just looking at the data, Al Jefferson could completely replace the legendary Garnett in his late prime.
It's a pity that the only thing Al Jefferson can see is the statistics. His influence on the game is not even close to Garnett's by a million points.
It's nothing but brushing data.
The game was also enjoyable. After all, how could playing with a husky not be enjoyable?
Even if he is given a chance to win, Erha is not a winner.
Kobe scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. His performance was quite impressive. He made 9 of 19 shots from the field. He was a solid team. This is an undefended Erha team!
Odom came back and scored 18 points and 10 rebounds, which was pretty good.
Su Bei didn't have much chance. He only got 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Before he could use any force, the opponent lost it. What else could you do?
…
After defeating the Timberwolves, the Lakers have more time as a team and will not play against the Spurs until the 13th.
In this way, there is more time to study and deal with the Spurs.
One thing to say is that after the collapse of the Lakers' OK dynasty in the 2003/04 season, the Spurs were the gatekeepers of the Western Conference Finals.
Basically, if you want to break out of the Western Conference, you have to see whether the Spurs agree.
The dominance of the GDP combination is still quite terrifying.
"The Spurs also have a lot of problems. As the main potential opponent of our Lakers, we must understand him and defeat him.
It’s not a hidden problem, to put it bluntly, it’s just a lack of money..."
The Spurs are only a small city team after all.
This season, Duncan's annual salary has reached 19 million US dollars, which is equivalent to Garnett's annual salary in 2000, which is a lot cheaper.
However, Parker has reached his peak, and his annual salary has exceeded the 10 million level.
Including Ginobili's 9 million level, GDP accounts for nearly 40 million in salary space, and the salary space that the Spurs can supplement is not enough.
It only cost 8 million in annual salary to hire Kurt Thomas, who was born in 1972.
The Spurs' aging lineup is getting more and more serious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bowen is almost 37, Finley is almost 36, Duncan is almost 32, Horry is 38, and even Thomas, who just joined, is almost 35 years old.
No money, the lineup is still aging, this is the Spurs' problem.
“However, the strength of Bo Povich’s team cannot be underestimated.
The Spurs, who have played 7 games now, have a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, but they only lost to the Rockets, who relatively restrained the Spurs..."
After crushing and analyzing the information about the Spurs, the Lakers players and Su Bei also had a full understanding of the Spurs.
"If the Lakers want to defeat the Spurs, they need to take advantage of their wing players and defeat the Spurs' two veteran wings. Only then can they make up for their disadvantages in point control and inside, and win..."
Su Bei nodded, feeling that he might be safe this time against the Spurs.
Kobe is the best in the league.
In addition, he also has some strength in Su Bei, so it may be difficult to bully Finley and Bowen who are at their peak.
But now those two people are 36 and 37, and it’s not Old Man Zhan’s body. What can they use to support it?
They can't stand it.
November 13, AT8T Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the Spurs' home court was about to host a regular game against the Lakers. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Kobe and Fisher chatted about a few cents in GDP.
A few years ago, during the Lakers dynasty, they were mortal enemies with the Spurs. Now three years from Hedong and three years from Hexi, the Spurs have become an evergreen tree, but the Lakers have reshuffled their cards and planted trees. The current cards are not good either, but,
Don't lose your momentum.
If the conversation gets slapped, we can just talk about the history of Fisher's 0.4-second victory over the Spurs, so it's still a good day to chat.
Su Bei warmed up quietly and prepared for the next battle.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Spurs' top five, Fabricio Otto, Duncan, Bowen, Finley, Parker.
Lakers five players, Bynum, Odom, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Mike Breen and Marv Albert as commentary partners.
"The Spurs have a fixed lineup, and Oberto is a close relative of Ginobili, so he plays just to make up the numbers.
However, the newly joined Kurt Thomas is in trouble and is injured in this game.
It will be a test for the Spurs' bench rotation. Horry is not on the roster, so only Ginobili can play.
Even if Ginobili plays the sixth man, it is a helpless move."
"The Lakers have changed their lineup again, Odom is back, and there will be no problem with Turiaf.
What’s strange is that Jackson chose Bynum for the center position instead of Kwame Brown, who has better defense. In this game, I guess the Lakers want to compete offensively with the Spurs..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
The whistle sounded, the referee threw up the basketball in his hand, Duncan defeated Bynum, and the Spurs took the first attack.
The players on the field rushed to the offensive front like a tide, and Su Bei also ran towards the opponent Bowen and rushed forward.
"Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Fisher defended it. After his teammates were in position, Parker did not play, and lobbed the basketball into the hands of Duncan in the low post. It was Odom who faced off. This was a scoring problem.
Duncan caught the ball and hit Odom on the back. Su Bei had no choice, or had already made a choice. He pounced on Odom and double-teamed Duncan. Duncan didn't wave or hit hard, and sent the basketball away...
"
boom--!
The basketball bounced up after hitting the floor and flew into the hands of Bowen in the outer corner of the left three-point line. He caught the ball and made a jump shot. Before Su Bei's defense could turn around and come back, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper...
"This is a fixed combination of internal and external tactics.
Duncan's unsolvable singles, being flanked and then passing the ball, and the outside players' three-point shots, the easier it is, the more undefendable it is.
Bowen doesn’t know how to attack and has only practiced three-pointers from the corners on both sides. Will he be able to make three-pointers..."
Swish——!
Bowen hit a three-pointer.
Bet that Bowen's three-point shooting pistol had no bullets, and ended up losing.
Bowen hit a three-pointer in his best shooting area, opening up the Spurs' scoring account.
0 to 3!
Bowen hit a three-pointer.
Su Bei didn't panic and looked very calm.
In the 07/08 season, Bowen averaged 6 points and 3 rebounds per game. From his peak, he averaged 8 points per game, still 2 points behind.
On average, Bowen's pistol still has bullets in it, but there must be only one drop left.
Su Bei thought, let the bullet fly for a while, wait for Bowen to hit another ball, and then just ignore his attack.
Bowen's little firepower was not even enough to feed the cat, so how could he panic?
